A very important thread! Thanks to this year's amazing list of Rising Stars! Please give them your congrats. Heck, if you are their employer, why not give them a pay rise?

Not 100% sure what to read into this. HC was the second-biggest publisher in Ireland last year through BookScan (9% of the market). I guess the vast marjority of that was UK & US originated titles. Seems slightly odd, though, when others (Bonnier for ex) are coming into Ireland.

HarperCollins has pulled its editorial function in Ireland following the resignation of publisher Conor Nagle, three years after launching HarperCollins Ireland as a standalone imprint. Read more here: https://t.co/jvTZbq7lcd https://t.co/yn3ViA0QbY

You realize @usmnt @jtbatson better managers are available? Leaving out the blinkered tactics, head-scratching subs, Reynagate etc - rehiring someone who admitted domestic violence (no matter how old he was or his relationship with her since) is astonishingly offensive.

I haven't re-read Blood Meridian as much as other favourite books (it's a bit too full on and I have nightmares about the judge for days) but passages are imprinted in my brain, not least the ending paragraph. RIP Cormac McCarthy. https://t.co/I5vh6I7Thv

Btw, a fact I learned interviewing Maud Ventura was that French publishers only accept physical submissions (she posted 10 MSs on the same day to different houses). On a sustainabilty, cost to strugging writers etc just absolute...folie.

Our magisterial second annual Translation Focus, the cover of which raises the immediate question: where can I buy Karin Smirnoff's incredible cardi? https://t.co/pQQH6C1MPP

Frome station's blue plaque claiming a bit of Bloomsbury Group stardust seems a bit of a reach (Leonard Woolf happened to be staying nearby with a friend from Cambridge at the time). https://t.co/MLFv7TesNr

Just noticed this in the Edinburgh airport gents. Is GoJo's apparent expansion from tech to hygiene products a way to deflect from the dodgy India numbers? How will this affect the Waystar deal? https://t.co/bV4yBELZ53
